This document is for HP printers that support scanning to email from the printer control panel.
When adding your email account to the scan to email feature on the printer control panel, the email server blocks access to your email account and one of the following error messages might display:
-
Gmail requires an additional security step. Please check your email security settings online.
-
The email or password that was entered is not working. Please try again.
-
The SMTP server uses an authentication method that is not supported. Try a different server.
-

Some email account service providers, such as Google or Yahoo, block access by third-party apps for security reasons. To allow the scan to email feature access to your email account, go to your email account service provider for detailed steps.
note:If you turned on two-step authentication, you must create an application password for the scan to email feature to access to your email account. See your email account provider for more information.
